Reviews
Great experience aided by an excellent driver/guide. Saw all the big game, bar Leopards,well pleased
George delivered on his promises of quality service and standards. It was my first safari in Kenya and I didn't appreciate the distances between game reserves. We had an excellent safe driver, a big bonus. He was knowledgeable and got us as close as possible to the game. I got what I paid for and felt it was above average value.
I would do it differently next time by spending less time on the road and more time in the game reserves. I would certainly do it through Right Choice Tours. George's was always available by phone if needed and his gesture to compensate for vehicle problems was very generous. He runs a good show and his staff are experienced and helpful. The collection and delivery service from and to the airport was much appreciated. Well done Right Choice Tours and Travel and continued success.

Good choice for your first safari
We had our private safari trip for two persons in Kenya with Right Choice tour agency in January 2015. Overall experience was good and we can recommend this agency as a decent company for low/mid budget safari touring.
Plus for Russian speaking tourists is the option to communicate with company's agent Elena who makes all the communications before and during a trip smooth and easy.
George who is the main guy in the agency proved to be a customer care driven person. As we arrived to Kenya we were surprised to know that the lodge at our first stop in Amboseli park was luckily changed for a much more better 5 star Ol Tukai lodge with no extra payment needed. Thank you, George , for that :)
We were offered a Toyota minivan as our safari car, it is a popular budget option in Kenya. It wasn't technically that good during the trip, so I would recommend to pay attention to car's condition from the very beginning. The car wasn't so convenient on some Kenyan offroads, so you should think of other options if interested in more comfort.
Our driver Jacob was a nice guide, we were very pleased with him. Actualy that is very important to have a reliable guide in your trip in Africa. Jacob was the right guy, he showed us the Big Five :)
To sum up, Right Choice tour agency can provide you a nice trip if you are limited in budget and don't stress heavily when some not planned issues occur on their way. It's Afrika, so Hakuna Matata!

Excellent trip to the Maasai Mara
We had a magnificent trip out to the Maasai Mara that was arranged by Right Choice tours. It began with an amazing dinner at the Carnivore restaurant, followed by our drive out to the national reserve from Nairobi. On the way our tour guide, Andrew, gave us amazing insight into the history of Kenya, often pointing out geographic features and historical structures on our drive. He did a wonderful job of combining interesting information with the beautiful Kenyan sights on our initial trek.
Andrew also served as our tour guide on the safari. He worked tirelessly to make sure we had an opportunity to get near the animals of the national reserve, while remaining safe within our vehicles. We were able to see breathtaking views of a mother lion with her two cubs, cheetahs resting under trees, giraffes, elephants and even two black rhinos. Our tour guide did an amazing job of explaining the animals to us and giving us details to the national reserve as we drove through it.
Also the location that was arranged for us to stay at was absolutely amazing, the Stanley Mara. They always had a bonfire going in the evening and the accommodations were perfect for a lodge. On our last night we were even treated to dance with some of the Maasai tribe.
Overall the safari was an amazing experience and we recommend Right Choice as a service to use. Ask for Andrew!

Undoubtably the best tour operator in Kenya
Right from the first introductory meeting on January 1st (a holiday in most parts of the world), George Oketch, the Director of Right Choice, chose to take the time and arrange a more formal meeting at his office in Central Nairobi. Given the cautionary notes from Lonely Planet, Rough Guide and Eyewitness Travel on selecting a tour operator (for my girlfriend and myself on holiday), we immediately had a comfort factor when we met George. His direct and candid approach in organizing the trip to Nakuru, Naivasha and Mara at the top luxury properties and within our budgets was truly appreciated and unmatched. Our driver/guide, Jacktone, in a superb safari vehicle provided us with an amazing week between 4 National Parks. Jacktone went the extra mile at the game reserves to ensure that we saw enough wildlife to say 'STOP! Now can we just see the birds and enjoy the landscape'. And he made sure that we got on the flight 25 minutes before departure!! Thank you, Right Choice. We will be back and hope everyone can use your services.

Absolutely amazing safari experience
We did the 10 day safari offered by Right Choice Tours & Travel covering Kenya and Tanzania. The experience is amazing .. we saw every kind of animal including the big 5 and were lucky enough to see a live kill, lions mating and many lion cubs in the wild. Our itinerary covered Lake Nakaru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorrongoro and Manyara. We also opted to do the additional boat safari in Lake Naivasha and the Hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara. Jacob our guide for the Kenya side of the tour was wonderful and so passionate about his job that it made it a wonderful experience for us. Things to watch out for if you select the budget/economy safari is that it is very budget! The tanzania side of the safari is on public camp sites in the Serengeti and in Ngorrongoro which means the toilets aren't very clean. Overall very happy that we did the safari experience and would do it again.. perhaps a little more "luxury" this time!

“Right Choice was definitely the right choice!”
Our trip was amazing! We had knowledgeable and experienced guides, David, in Tanzania, and Ben, in Kenya, and managed to see the Big 5 several times over, plus many other animals, thanks to their expertise and great driving. Accommodations were mostly better than expected, with beautiful surroundings, terrific food and super people. George was wonderful; helping us customize our safari to out budget and organizing everything. We will definitely call George and company when we return to Africa!

I'll choose Right Choice Tours&Travel for my next safari trip
We (I and my husband) were in Kenya in October, 2014.
We booked with Right Choice Safaris under six weeks before we were due to travel on our vacation. We were extremely pleased that Right Choice Safaris got everything organized and gave us discount for our early booking. I have to say that George and his team did a wonderful job of arranging a private safari around the dates we had already decided upon, saving us from having to book hotels. Their driver and guide Stiv was excellent. Vehicle was comfortable with open roof. Stiv was very friendly and had good knowledge of the animals and birds seen on the safari, also of trees and other vegetation and he explained things in ways which kept us interested. While the driving to Lake Nakuru Stiv suggested to take a boat trip on Lake Navaishi. We saw Hypo’s families and eagles hunting. Stiv had a real talent for spotting animals, even while driving.
He asked us about animals we want to see and tried to find them, so we saw the whole great 7. The hotels we choose, were very good. We stayed in Sarova Lion Hill and Mara Serena Lodge. Both of them have amazing view to the Lake Nakuru or Masaai Mara. Right Choice Safaris did a brilliant job of arranging everything for us, the driver, vehicle and all accommodation while on the safari (full board). With their help we had the the very interesting and enjoyable time. Of course, we will choose them to organize our safari next year and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to safari in East Africa.

Excellent tour provider
We booked with Right Choice Safaris under two weeks before we were due to travel on our honeymoon. We had previously booked with another company who ceased trading. So we were extremely pleased that Right Choice Safaris were able to get everything organised in a very short time. This took us from being very concerned that our plans for the honeymoon (or at least the safari part of it, which was the main part for us) had all fallen through to being very relieved that we were back on track.
I have to say that George and his team did a wonderful job of arranging a private safari around the dates we had already decided upon, saving us from having to rebook hotels. George was happy to create an itinerary around our requirements for hotel collection and return in Diani.
Their driver and guide Jacob was excellent. He had good knowledge of the animals and birds seen on the safari, also of trees and other vegetation and he explained things in ways which kept us interested. He had a real talent for spotting animals too, even while driving.
All in all, Right Choice Safaris did a brilliant job of arranging everything for us, the driver, vehicle and all accommodation while on the safari (full board). With their help we had the most amazing and enjoyable time. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to safari in East Africa.

Great service, would highly recommend
This was our first time in Kenya. Our group of four adults were on a five day safari in Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara National Park, with a final drop off at the Isebania border crossing to Tanzania. Prior to the trip, George and his team were very helpful and very flexible as we changed our itinerary several times in the course of planning. On safari, our driver was very knowledgeable and skilled. Everything went off without a hitch and we would highly recommend Right Choice.

THE BEST CHOICE :D
It's not only the right choice, it's, without a doubt, the best choice :D
If you are looking for an unforgettable safari experience either with your partner or friends, George and his team are the most professional organisers you will get.
The Right Choice really made my safari in Kenya one the most enjoyable experiences of my life.
As an experienced traveller I recommend them blindly. You won't find warmer, more reliable and more focused on you company anywhere else.
